Beautiful Vintage Photo of Victoria Station
January 4th 2009 16:51
Victoria Station is one of London's transport hubs where trains, tube, buses, coaches, and people converge. It's a popular meeting spot, now as then.
This picture shows a post-war Victoria Station, looking rather atypically empty. The cars on the left and the London Bobby in the background don't look much different than today's version.
